Default If you had 1k to spend on looks

What would you buy, its basically whats left from my income tax after i pay off CCs and such...

Im really looking into the Gia Cuzzo wing, I love the way it looks with the track wing... but that will burn 600-800

So im just curious for any suggestions, my performance is good where it is for now, now its time to juice up looks for a couple upcoming shows soon

1. Suspension: Provides improved handling & at the same time gives your ride a more aggressive stance.

2. Save it for Wheels/Tires: Perhaps the best mod you can do to improve the looks of your ride without getting into bodykits. It may even improve your performance since you can get a lighter set vs. your OEMs & a wider setup to improve handling/traction in turns.

1K is not enough for body kit, at least not including paint

Buy a used pre-painted lip kit such as the veilside. Or buy the veilside new, paint and then install yourself.

Well I dont want new wheels cause my Rays are undergoing powdercoat polished lip stages.

Lip kits are nice but im WAY picky so there is noway ive decided yet... and btw I have a paintshop so it cost nothing more then paint cost for me

And Yorky I WANT THE WING but its becoming a hastle, emailing people, calling overseas, etc.... getting expensive just to get in touch, but I found the site in Germany that sells overseas but I cant understand if thats what my final cost would be, refer to other post please and see if you can tell me

And I would do suspension, but VRT will be doing that later when I get my car in there finally

Nismo wing is way to commonly used, rather go with the Gia Cuzzo from germany, MUCH hotter wing, MUCH less common

Well..... I just paid 1350 and had all my emblems/door handles shaved panels re-sprayed and wet sanded. Also had the e-bay carbon fiber spoiler molded seamlessly into my rear hatch. I think it looks awsome =)
